691. Expansive Japan

Time flies, and after the dazzling changes and chaos of the European battlefield, the Japanese invasion of Southeast Asia has sounded a heavy bell for the rest of the world. It was as if Britain and France had really fallen, and the Japanese army drove almost straight in, and did not encounter decent resistance in Southeast Asia at all.

Ships and truckloads of supplies began to be transported from Southeast Asia to the Japanese mainland.

During this time, Zhou Weiguo was just quietly doing his own thing, and then preparing for the war with the Japanese after a period of time. Seeing the situation in Southeast Asia, Zhou Weiguo also understood why the system said that the Japanese could recover in this year. Japan's industrial base is already the best in Asia, and with sufficient resources, the Japanese can build war equipment in unlimited quantities.

On October 19, Chiang Kai-shek issued a "Hao telegram" ordering the New Fourth Army south of the Yellow River to withdraw to the north of the Yellow River within a month.

Zhou Weiguo, who received the news, was silent, it turned out that something was inevitable? Even if you go around for a long time, you will still return to the original trajectory?

Zhou Weiguo rubbed his eyebrows, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, this is an old truth. Now that the power of the Communist Party is developing faster and faster, and it has received more and more support from the people, Lao Jiang is probably really afraid. If he wasn't afraid, Lao Jiang wouldn't have done such things again and again.

The Japanese are still eyeing up large areas of territory. Here, Lao Jiang began to prepare to suppress the CCP again.

Zhou Weiguo really doesn't know what Lao Jiang thinks? Didn't he see that the Japanese plundered so many resources in Southeast Asia? There was obviously an invasion of foreign enemies, but they still did such a thing!

Liu Yuan also looked at the telegram and was silent, in his opinion, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is not worth mentioning in the face of the country's crisis, but the country's crisis has eased slightly, and the people who were teammates one moment ago began to stab you the next moment, which is really not very pleasant.

Zhou Weiguo was also uncomfortable, because he knew the development of history. It is true that he has done many things, but some things have not changed.

……

Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.

Emperor Showa has been in a good mood lately, after signing the Axis Treaty with Germany and Italy, Japan is in Southeast Asia, and no one can stop it, and the materials shipped back, including rubber, oil, metal, etc., are almost filling up the original warehouses, and the major factories are working overtime to make war equipment in preparation for the next invasion.

"Your Majesty." Fumiro Konoe was summoned and greeted Emperor Showa.

"Yo Xi, Konoe-kun, how have you been earning lately?"

"Very good." Konoe Wenlu was also in a good mood, watching the supplies being transported back one by one, as well as the food, he finally had more money in his hands, and some plans could be carried out.

"Hahaha!" Emperor Showa laughed, "I have to say that Germany is really the lucky star of our Great Japanese Empire." ”

"Hey!" Fumiro Konoe also thinks so, if it weren't for Germany defeating France and dragging Britain, Japan would not have made a move on Southeast Asia at this time, even if they have been coveting it for a long time. In terms of strength, they still have some cognition.

"The Kuomintang has begun to oppose the communists again." Emperor Showa continued with a smile.

"Hey!" Konoe Fumiro also nodded easily, "Therefore, it is a correct way not to put pressure on the Chinese, because when the external pressure is gone, the Chinese themselves will be in chaos, and there is no need for our Imperial Japanese Army to intervene." At this time, the imperial army should set its sights on Southeast Asia, the golden land. ”

"Yo Si! That's what Konoe-kun said! Emperor Showa nodded, "Thanks, our Great Japanese Empire is united from top to bottom!" ”

"Hey! Thanks to His Majesty's wise guidance. Konoe Fumiro smiled, "In the future, people will continue to deepen exchanges with the Kuomintang!" ”

"Yo Xi!"

"Although the independent division is very powerful, the independent division cannot manage the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party." Konoe Fumiro smiled, "Moreover, for some time now, the Nationalist Government led by Kageza Zhenzhao has recruited nearly 100,000 soldiers, and according to feedback, the training is quite good. "Originally, when Wang Jingwei established the puppet national government, he accepted seven divisions and an independent brigade from the Ministry of Aid. Later, the Japanese Advisory Department was handed over to the puppet government of the so-called Seven Brigades and One Regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, and most of these mixed forces were undermanned, extremely poorly equipped, demoralized, and discouraged. Now, the Japanese are not only training this group, but also recruiting new troops and training them in the name of the puppet government.

"Yo Si! Well done! Emperor Showa felt that he was about to float when he walked, "Continue the current national policy!" Step up the development of Southeast Asia! Plunder resources! Accelerate development! ”

"Hey!"

There is an old saying, called the gold belt of murder and arson, and it can be seen that the fastest way to get money and resources is to plunder. Especially, when the marauders are still the army of a country, they are like machines, and no one can stop them. Therefore, the Japanese are addicted to it, and they really can't stop it. The simple way of getting money and resources makes them swell and fly.

In the eyes of the Japanese, as long as this development continues, when the ship is strong enough and the cannon is sharp enough, anyone will kneel in front of them and tremble.

Berlin

The recent unsuccessful attack on Britain made Hitler very irritable, and he did not expect that after the Luftwaffe had paid such a big price, the British Air Force would be able to fight back. Although it was decided as early as October 12 to postpone the "Sea Lion Plan" to the spring of 1941, that is, in fact abandoning the plan to land in Britain, the so-called postponement was just a cover for the eyes and ears of the people, because the German High Command had already decided to invade the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941, and it was naturally impossible to attack Britain again, but the situation in Britain made Hitler feel very bad.

"Your Excellency, after all, Britain has only so many territories, and there is not much difference between defeating Britain and not defeating Britain for our German Empire." Standing beside Hitler, Goering exhorted, "War is never about winning or losing. ”

Hitler took a deep breath and nodded, "I see." ”

On 28 October, Italian troops invaded Greece.

I have to say that this year has been a very wonderful year, and the changes in the world situation in the past few months have made people wonder and fear. It seems that the flames of war have begun to spread to the whole world, and it seems that there is no place that can be safe. In addition to a few countries that have now remained neutral, there is also a well-known great power, the United States of America.

In November, the temperature in northern China began to drop, and it entered late autumn and even early winter.

Zhou Weiguo got up early in the morning, stood outside the door, looked at the hoarfrost on the grass in the courtyard, and frowned, it turned out that a year would pass again? With a sigh, Zhou Weiguo walked to the cafeteria.
